UNIQLO is bringing LifeWear to more Batangueños with the opening of its SM City Sto. Tomas Store

Japanese global apparel retailer UNIQLO is opening its second store in Batangas at the ground floor of SM City Sto. Tomas, making LifeWear accessible to more Batangueños starting October 27. With over 1,064 square meters of shopping space, the newest store will provide timeless pieces that suit the different lifestyles of the locals and visitors. 

EXPLORE BATANGAS WITH YOUR PERFECT UNIQLO ‘FIT

Day trips can be packed with activities so it’s important to wear clothes that can keep you fresh and looking smart the whole day. The Men’s U Crew Neck Short Sleeve T-Shirt has a compact cotton fabric that brings comfort on long trips. This is perfect for a road trip to Verde Island, which has beaches, a cave, and a lighthouse.

Batangas is known for its good coffee and UNIQLO has got you covered for your coffee dates. The Men’s Dry Pique Short Sleeve Polo Shirt has DRY technology to wick away moisture from sweat. Its pique fabric is made from a blend of pilling-resistant cotton and polyester for a smooth, light texture.

The weather can be unpredictable, and a sunny forecast can turn windy in an instant. UNIQLO’s Flannel Long Sleeve Shirt is the perfect outer layer for the shifting weather. Its double-ply thick count yarn has a pleasant thickness, and it is brushed on both sides for softness and warmth. This is best worn at the pilgrimage center Montemaria. Its highlight is the Mother of All Asia – Tower of Peace, a monument with a sprawling view of the Verde Island Passage.

A pop of color can brighten any look and add a little personality to an outfit. The Men’s Ultra Stretch Color Jeans offer a wide range of muted options that are both trendy and sophisticated. This collection is complemented by its ultra-stretch satin fabric for a comfortable and skinny fit. Show this off in selfies at Fantasy World, an unfinished theme park that is now a photo paradise with its medieval castles. 

An out-of-town adventure needs clothes that are easy to move around in and the Women’s Cropped Relaxed Short Sleeve Polo Shirt delivers. The cotton jersey fabric is comfortable, and the cropped-length boxy silhouette is airy. This is great for adventures at Fortune Island. Aside from the picturesque Grecian ruins, the island has spots for scuba diving and camping. 

Linen is the perfect fabric to bring to the beach because it’s breathable and looks effortlessly cool. The Women’s Linen Blend Open Collar Short Sleeve Shirt is the ideal outer layer after diving in Anilao, known worldwide for its coral reefs and diverse marine life. Its soft fabric is a fusion of linen and rayon for a natural yet sophisticated texture. The loose-fitting silhouette gives a laidback look while covering the skin from the sun.

Batangas is also rich in heritage destinations. An example is the Taal Heritage Town, which is filled with preserved ancestral houses and the centuries-old Basilica of St Martin de Tours. It holds the distinction of being the largest Catholic church in Asia. The Women’s Ultra Stretch High Rise Cropped Leggings Pants bring comfort as it promotes easy movement and gives a leg-flattering effect with its high-rise design and cropped length.

A dress is not just a stylish outfit for traveling, it’s practical, too. It can be worn on its own for hot days, or layered with a jean jacket for late afternoons overlooking a view. The Mercerized Cotton Short Sleeve Mini Dress has a short length and flowing hem for a breezy feel. This is complemented by the comfortable feel of mercerized cotton, which has an elegant glossy sheen. Wear this while exploring Casa de Segunda, an ancestral house built in 1880 that shows how Filipinos in the past lived.

Kids can enjoy the marine wonders of Batangas through snorkeling on Sombrero Island. They can cool off in the Kids’ U AIRism Cotton Crew Neck Short Sleeve T-Shirt after their water activities. The cotton fabric has AIRism properties that absorb sweat and dry it instantly. Its roomy and relaxed fit is ideal for laidback days at the beach.

Adventurous kids need clothing that allows for easy movement. The Kids’ Stretch Easy Shorts are flexible and can keep up with even the most energetic child. Its twill fabric, slightly roomy cut, and sleek knee length have a soft and comfortable feel—perfect for island hopping in Nasugbu.
